Magic The Gathering

Hey, old-timer! This is for the discussion of all video game-related topics, excluding those from this current generation of consoles.

Magic The Gathering

Postby Zehdils » Sun Jun 12, 2011 3:02 am

Uh, Other Games is the only suit forum for it.
It's not a video game, no, but it's much better.

I've been playing a lot of this game lately, like you would not believe.
Especially since New Phyrexia has been released.
It's also cool to be son of a business owner who sells games like this and I get all the cool information about new product and what's coming first and when.

So um, who else plays it? Anybody?

I have bought approximately 40 new Phyrexia boosters lately, because it turned out to be my favorite set of all time (still got no obliterators, i WANT THEM SO HARD :'( )
I own about 5000 cards altogether, and I have been playing it from the times of release of the Time spiral, which makes about 5 years.
If you want to discuss more about Magic, I am definitely in :)

Sweet! Score any Karn's or any Sword's? ;D
I've been buying a lot of New Phyrexia lately, too. Although I think I need to buy some more Mirrodin Besieged. I have a good feeling that Tezzeret's going to do the same thing Jace has done. I have 2. Should probably get two more before they jump up to $100 a piece.

I started playing not too long ago, actually. When the Zendikar Block was out. And Stoneforge Mystics were $2. XD

Hey, ever hear of the format "Commander"?

At first, I am definitely going to buy blue-black-green commander, it just kicks ass
And I haven't got any swords or Karn, but my friend just got two karns and couple of different swords (lol), and about the Besieged, I just traded my long-awaited blightsteel colossus to my proliferate deck
Also, I have got four praetors from the boosters (two blue, one black and one green, but no freaking white ;_;)
Oh, and I think that no card can ever get in the same position as Jace (Tezzeret is blue-black, Jace is just blue) it is just annoying to check the pro tour-decks and see that every one of them contains 4 copies of Jace -_-
Btw which kinds of decks you currently have? My list:
Dimir-based grind
Bloodchief ascension - mindcrank -combo
Rebirth (with buried alives and living deaths etc, my friends hate it because it works so well :D )
Green all-out infect
Green-black infect
Blightsteel clolossus - proliferate - artifact
Fungus with sprout swarm+intruder alarm -combo
Black-Red "just annoying" -deck
Cycling+crypt of agadeem drain deck
Green Eldrazi
Black-white weenie-lifedrain
Black Nether shadow and all of his friends ^^
(check the names of the cards from the gatherer if those explanations look unclear)

I'm looking forward to the Red Blue White commander deck.
See, I already make custom Commander decks.
White - Kemba, Kha Regent - Based on Equipment. Commander Deck.
Black / White / Green - Teneb, the Harvester- Based on big bomby shit. Commander Deck.
Red / White - Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer - Based on Metalcraft. Wheee. Commander Deck.

Aside commander decks,
I have;
Soul Sisters deck. (Infinite life combo)
Demon of Death's Gate + One-drop black creatures deck.
White Green Eldrazi.
Red Aggro. (Managed to get four of the red praetor. 8D)

As for the praetors, I'm with you. I have all of them except the white one, which is the one I want three of because I run White in each of my Commander decks. Argh.

I run Black in nearby every deck I have, which has always been my favorite color
I also have done elder dragon highlanders as you have, but I don't have them anymore (I ran out of sleeves...)
...and my nether shadow-deck contains four copies of Demon of the death's gate


....damn Norn....

G'ah, sleeves are a bitch.
Too little of them, and they're too pricy. :U

Also, opened up a Kozilek today.
I am pleased.

I have Emrakul, but I would be glad if I got Kozilek ;_;
And the sleeves are not so expensive in here at least (1,5 euros 100 sleeves)

I used to play Magic from time to time... rarely, but if anyone had a deck (not likely here) I'd play against them...
I haven't collected as of late, so I probably can't play a competitive game realistically...
However... my deck does hold some dangerous cards, such as Phage the Untouchable... It's black and white most cards are from the Mirrodin expansion...
